A member asked:

While wearing makeup and contacts my eyes become watery and a white pus forms. i wake up with crust around my eyes, puffy eyelids and red eyes. what?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contacts: Either you have infected contacts, or an ulcer. DO NOT WEAR THE CONTACTS UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGIST! A CORNEAL ULCER COULD LEAD TO A PERFORATION, THEN INFECTION INSIDE YOUR EYE (ENDOPHTHALMITIS) AND LOSS OF THE EYE.
